Batch remove word doc pages from library

Hi,
I see there are ways to batch remove or add information to word docs and i have successfully removed the cover page from word docs and put into one document. Is there any way to remove cover and end pages from word docs in a batch? I need to
remove the cover pages of over 300 documents and then the last 2 or 3 pages as well.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
thupard

Deleting the first page is no problem, especially if it's in its own Section. Removing pages from the end of the document is likewise no problem in and of itself, but the '2 or 3 pages' isn't something VBA can be left to decide for itself - it needs rules
that tell it how to decide whether to delete 2 pages or to delete 3 pages. If Section breaks at the end of the document are involved, matters can become complicated when header/footer content and differences in page layout need to be considered.

How do I remove my iWeb pages from the Home folder so I can publish to a new host?

I have moved my MobileMe site to a new service (GoDaddy). The basic transfer went very smoothly. With one tiny hitch: the new URL text.
IWeb places web pages in folders, each folder being a "site." The name of the root folder automatically becomes a "pointer" to the web site -- and part of the URL text.
My current root folder is named DavidChartrand -- me. So..... when I published everything over to GoDaddy the text "DavidChartrand" was attached to my URL.
Instead of seeing www.davidchartrand.com in the URL bar, visitors see: www.davidchartrand.com.com/DavidChartrand
GoDaddy staff says this is simply a quirk in iWeb's design. Fine, but it's annoying. Is there anyway I can keep using iWeb but somehow remove the root folder.....that is, remove my site pages from the root folder and and then re-publish? GoDaddy tech support swears it has many former MobileMe/iWeb users who have done this successfully but offered had no idea how.
David

The way iWeb publishes its websites, in its own folder, the normal URL is http://www.domain_name.com/Site_name/Page_name.html. This is a normal URL for any web host.
If you want to get rid of the site name you will need to publish your website to a folder on your hard drive and upload only the contents of the website folder to your server with a 3rd party FTP client like YummyLite, Transmit or Cyberduck. That will get rid of the site name in the URL.
Of course remove the existing website foldr from the server beforehand.
I believe the folder you publish to on GoDaddy is named public_html. You might try renaming your website to "public_html" and publish to GoDaddy. In theory iWeb will see the website's folder already on the server and publish the website file into it.
It works that way with HostExcellence.com which names the home folder the same as the domain name associated with it. This tutorial explains more about it: iW16 - Using HostExcellence.com with iWeb

Emailing word doc saved from pages

created a resume in pages and saved as a word doc. the formatting is on 2 pgs when i view the word doc on my Mac, but when i email the doc as an attachment, the formatting changes to 3 pgs. any advice on how to ensure it remains on only 2 pages?
thanks

Save and mail it as a PDF. There frequently are small, but consequential, changes when converted to Word.

How do I make hearts and symbols disappear from Word Doc converted from pdf?

This is the first time I've tried to convert a document. I am in a new job and I'm stuck. How do I convert pdf to word and not get symbols all over the Word doc?

Appears to be a font related issue.
Regardless, all you can do with the circumstances you describe is to use MS Word to perform cleanup of the export content.
Alternatively print the PDF to paper and use that as a source for transcription into a fresh word processor file.

Can't open MS Word .doc files from SharePoint 2013 document library?

Hello,
I have uploaded some MS Word files with .doc extension into a SharePoint 2013 document library, but they don't open when clicked. I can do a number of things to the file, like view and edit properties, download and other things, but it does not
open up when mouse clicked. There are PDF files in the document library and they open up just fine. Any ideas?
I should add that MS Word 2010 .docx files can not be opened either.
Thanks.
Paul

Hi,
Whether you use office 2013.
Considering this .doc file can be smoothly opened in Office if you downloaded it to your local, it indicates that the Word document and Microsoft Word doesn’t have any problems. The issue may be caused by the compatibility between Office
and your site.
1.Check whether you have the SharePoint OpenDocuments Class add on enabled at first.
Internet Explorer >Tools iron > Manage add-ons >
Choose to Show All add-ons. Find SharePoint OpenDocuments Class and make sure it’s enabled.
2.go to Compatibility view settings > add your SharePoint site to compatibility view
3.go to Internet Options,
Advanced > Reset… > Check Delete personal settings and reset
Security > Trusted sites > sites > add SharePoint sites to trusted sites
4.If it doesn’t work, please open Word, go to Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Protected View > Uncheck all.
Best Regards,

Batch changing Word docs to Pages

I've been using Word for years, now converting to Pages. In searching for a way to quickly convert all my documents to Pages, I've read posts here and found only advice for handling things one at a time -- though I may have missed a post. But I have found a possible answer, yet not sure of the consequences, so please advise. If you
1. Click on a document and click on "more info"
2. Open with option - select Pages. Just below this line are the words, "Use this application to open all documents like this, and the option button, "Change All..."
So I pick an unimportant file and do this, and receive the message after pressing "Change All":
"Are you sure you want to change all your Microsoft Word documents to open with the application 'Pages'? This change will apply to all Microsoft Word documents with type W8BN."
One, I don't have any clue what documents will be included because of the "W8BN," because this is a designation I've never heard of, don't know how it is assigned. It is very specific to whether the document is all text, or who authored it, or does it literally refer to all current Word documents made with the version of Word I have (Microsoft Word X)?
Until I know this, and the consequences of pressing "Change All," I won't do this. But if this is a truly simple and non-destructive way to batch change, how wonderful!
To further complicate matters, I need this question answered for Leopard AND Tiger, as my husband is one and I am on the other....
Thanks in advance,
Tonia

Yvan,
I have downloaded your ForPages:batchWord2Pages.zip to try and convert a group of Word files to Pages. As the script asks, I have saved it as an application bundle. When I drop a folder (or a group of files) onto the saved application bundle Pages opens but then my system gets stuck in a loop. The computer makes a rapid 'bonging' noise (the sort it makes if you click a button by mistake) and then nothing else will work. I cannot force quit anything or use activity monitor to close any tasks. All I can do is hold the power switch to make the computer switch off.
I have tried this on both my iMac & Mac Book Pro. Both run 10.5.2 and Pages 3.0.2. The same thing happens on both machines.
Is there something else I need to set in the script before I save it as an application bundle?
Thanks for any help you can provide

How do I remove formatting in a Word doc converted from PDF?

I have the PDF to Word Converter. When I convert the pdf to Word and try to type or edit the doc it is so heavily formatted that I am unable to make the changes I want. The other issue is some symbols, when converted, come our distorted when compared to the original pdf.

Hi moi person,
Please provide us more information about the product you are using.

Acrobat 9 Batch Converting Word Docs - Macros Disabled Popup but Macros Are Enabled.

I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended on Windows XP SP2.
I am using Acrobat's batch process to convert thousands of Word 2003 docs to PDFs. For about 50% of the files, I get 2 popups - 1 in Word, then 1 in VB. Both say "The macros in this project are disabled ..." and I have to click OK for both popups.
How can I turn this off. My Word 2003 Security settings are Low, Macros are Enabled, and I've done everything else I can find to do.
I'm hoping there is a good work-around / setting change. Couldn't find one on the web.
Thanks,
John

General Acrobat Problem Steps
If you are having problems creating a PDF, there are two steps you should do FIRST
Go to the appropriate vendor web site and apply all updates to the program you are using (several recent messages have concerned problems with MS Office conversion, with the response that different versions of Office have different BUGS that must be fixed by a download from Microsoft - and MS Office products are not the only ones which may, from time to time, need to be updated to work properly)
Apply all updates IN NUMBER ORDER
Acrobat Update http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
Or, use the Microsoft product for Office 2007

How to remove last blank page from preview of Smartform

Hi Experts ,

hey,
Create a program lines node.....
in that describe the internal table in which you are having the document number.If you are having 10 document number then you will be having 10 pages.... so create program lines befor the command line in the command line just give a flag ok.
when the 10th page is created then the control comes to program line where the pagenumber will be equal to the number of document number there create a flag ( f = 'X') then give this codition in command line.Trigger the command line when ever f NE 'X'.So in the last time new page will not be triggered.

How do I remove a blank page from a section of 4 pages? (Pages)

1 page (page 4) in a section of 4 pages is blank. How do I remove that page only? I followed the help instructions; but was asked if I was sure I want to delete pages 1-4.

What version of Pages?
What instructions? It sounds like you have got the wrong ones and are trying to delete a page in the Thumbnails, which will delete th entire section.
If you have a blank page in a Word Processing template, it is because there is some text on it, even a return, tab, space or page break:
Menu > View > Show Invisibles > backspace over whatever it is to get rid of it

Remove un-used photos from library

i have 68,000 photos in my library.
About HALF of them are not used in any album.
That is, after import, I have deleted half of the pictures from the albums.
iPhoto is very slow to respond.
I think it has to do with the large photo library.
Is there any way to delete the UN-USED photos in the iPhoto Library and only keep the ones that are contained in at least one Album??

You can make a smart album of photos not in an album, flag them, create a new event from flagged photos and delete teh photos form that event inbatches of 100 or so emptying the iPhoto trash after ever batch

How to edit word doc converted from PDF

I converted a PDF to a Word docx, and need to edit the doc. How do I do this?

As you would any other document. The problem is likely that you had scanned to PDF and never ran OCR. Thus the DOC file is a collection of pictures and no text. You either have to edit the graphic to fix the text or go back to the PDF and do OCR first. Use Searchable PDF to enable useful fonts for the DOC file.

Word doc generated from RoboHelp 10 uses "Article" and "Section" as Prefixes in the TOC

I am generating a printed document, specifically a Word document from a RoboHelp 10 project. When I select Use Styles from Microsoft Word Template in the Print documentation Appearance dialog box, the TOC1 heading in the Word document is prefixed with "Article", the TOC 2 heading is prefixed with "Section", and TOC 3 is alpha numbered like this:
Table of Contents
Article I.          The Protocol Probe 1
Section 1.01     Welcome. 2
(a)         About this Guide. 2
Section 1.02     Product Overview.. 3
(a)         Contacting Us. 3
Article II.      Install and Configure the Probe 3
Section 2.01     How to Install the Probe. 6
Section 2.02     Overview.. 7
Section 2.03     Server Installation. 8
(a)         Warnings and Cautions. 8
(b)         Warning: Adherence to Safety and Assembly Instructions. 8
This occurs whatever Word template I specify in RoboHelp. It does not occur if I select the Use Styles From Stylesheet checkbox. It also occurs if I generate a PDF.
When I update TOC in Word the correct numbering and styles I have specified are applied. However, I don’t want to have to do this every time I generate a Word document.
I have tried the following, all with the same result:
Specifying different Word templates in Robohelp
Creating a blank template in Word with minimum styles an specifying this template in RoboHelp
Recreating the TOC styles in Word
Re-installing the style mapping template in Robohelp
Looking thru the default mapping and other RoboHelp templates and CSS to see what might be causing the odd numbering.
I have just installed RoboHelp 10 (no previous version of RoboHelp on system) and have never encountered this problem with any version of RoboHelp before.
I cannot determine if it is Word or RoboHelp, or a combination of both, that is causing the problem.
I know that the prefixes that are generated in the Word TOC are defined by List Templates in Word; however there is no real way to edit these in Word as far as I can tell. As far as I can see, the TOC styles in the Word template do not have any specific numbering specified.
Has anyone encountered this problem before and found a solution? Or does anyone know how RoboHelp specifies the styles for TOC's for Word documents?
I am using Windows XP SP3, Word 2007 and RoboHelp 10.0.0.287.
Thanks in advance.

RoboHelp will be using the template you selected as per your first post in the thread.
